3.3 Reading the Camera Type
This read command returns an 8-bit value unique to the type of camera interrogated. A
6M3P will return a value of 33h when this command is issued. This is useful for
applications that need to function with multiple DALSTAR camera types.
Example: Read the camera type
Command Value Returned
(6M3P)
Binary 1100 0011 0011 0011
Hex C3h 33h
3.4 Reading the Firmware Revision
This command returns a byte in which the lower nibble is the revision number for the
clock board firmware and the upper nibble is undefined. The ability to read this value
may assist in customer support issues.
Example: Read the firmware version

3.5 Resetting the Camera
This is the only other “write” command that is not followed by a data byte. This
command resets all clock board registers to their default values (the values used at
power-up).
